Chapter 0097 Judys POV I woke up to the sounds of murmurs nearby ; my memory of what had happened was a bit foggy and my head ached like I was hungover , but I dont remember drinking that much .<\/p>\n
I had mainly water with a few sips of white wine at dinner , but it wasnt enough to make me hungover .<\/p>\n
I dont even remember falling asleep .<\/p>\n
My fingers twitched as I came to , and I could feel the cold concrete ground beneath me .<\/p>\n
That was part of the reason why my body was aching .<\/p>\n
Then I felt the cold metal chains around my wrists and the burning that the silver invoked .<\/p>\n
Silver was a werewolfs weakness , and I knew before I even opened my eyes that I wouldnt be able to channel my wolf or send out a mindlink to anyone in my pack .<\/p>\n
I also knew that I was in danger .<\/p>\n
A slight memory came back to me , and I remember running and laughing with Irene by my side .<\/p>\n
Was Irene here with me ? Did she somehow set me up ? Maybe she didnt believe me when I told her that nothing was going on between Ethan and me .<\/p>\n
Maybe this was part of her plan ; to make sure the guards didnt follow us so she could kidnap me and possibly kill me .<\/p>\n
Another memory resurfaced and I remembered watching Irene fall to the ground after a man attacked her .<\/p>\n
He stabbed her in the neck with a syringe and she passed out immediately .<\/p>\n
My heart hammered in my chest , and I knew my breathing was unsteady .noveldrama<\/p>\n
I tried to keep it steady just in case I wasnt alone wherever I was .<\/p>\n
I could hear the light whispers from some men nearby and I tried to channel my wolf so I could hear better , but to no prevail .<\/p>\n
However , their voices grew louder as their footsteps neared .<\/p>\n
I might not have my wolf senses , but the moment they were close enough , I could smell them .<\/p>\n
It was the same sickly scent from before .<\/p>\n
Rogues .<\/p>\n
I thought we were only paid to capture one girl , one of the rogues asked in a harsh whisper .<\/p>\n
So , well ask for more money , another said with a dark chuckle .<\/p>\n
Who are they anyways ? I dont fucking know .<\/p>\n
I didnt ask questions .<\/p>\n
He gave me a price and I told him no problein , another rogue muttered .<\/p>\n
Im starving ; lets get some food while we wait for them to wake up .<\/p>\n
Itll probably be a while .<\/p>\n
We used a lot of wolfsbane .<\/p>\n
They sauntered off ; the sounds of their shoes growing more distant and then I heard the opening and shutting of a door , along with a lock .<\/p>\n
So far , telling from their voices , there were 3 of them .<\/p>\n
But I remembered there being more than that before I passed out .<\/p>\n
I opened my eyes and immediately knew that I was in a dark cellar .<\/p>\n
I lifted my head , ignoring the pounding of my temple .<\/p>\n
It seemed I was in a large cage of some sort , like a caged animal .<\/p>\n
I felt myself growing more furious by the second .<\/p>\n
I looked around , trying to get my bearings , but it was hard to see without my wolfs natural abilities guiding me .<\/p>\n
But I was able to see clearly enough to know that I wasnt alone .<\/p>\n
Chapter 0097 My heart sank when I saw Irene lying next to me , completely passed out .<\/p>\n
She had a gash on her head from when she fell to the ground , and she was looking so pale .<\/p>\n
Irene \u2026 I croaked , crawling over to her .<\/p>\n
I winced as the metal around my wrists burned into my flesh .<\/p>\n
I touched her cold cheek and felt a surge of panic rushing towards me .<\/p>\n
I felt around her neck for a pulse and when I found a faint one , I let out a breath of relief .<\/p>\n
I brushed her blood soaked hair out of her face .<\/p>\n
Please , wake up , I whispered .<\/p>\n
We have to get out of here .<\/p>\n
The problem was , I had no idea how we were going to leave here .<\/p>\n
I knew one thing for sure ; these men thought I was still passed out and they werent going to do anything until we were both awake , which meant I had to act like I was asleep when I heard them returning .<\/p>\n
I rested my back against the wall and took a deep and shaky breath , coughing slightly at the musky feel of the dusty air .<\/p>\n
I wasnt sure how I was able to recover from the wolfsbane so quickly , but I knew Irene would probably be asleep for a while .<\/p>\n
I reached for her slowly sliding her across the floor so her head could be rested on my lap .<\/p>\n
I slowly stroked her hair , humming softly to her .<\/p>\n
I didnt want her to be afraid when she woke up .<\/p>\n
Im not sure how long we remained like that for ; there were no windows and there was no clock , so I had no idea what time it was .<\/p>\n
But I know it had to have been hours at least .<\/p>\n
I was groggy and my head was bobbing up and down when I heard the shoes approaching .<\/p>\n
I quickly scooted Irene off my lap , so her head was rested on the ground again and then I rested my head beside hers , closing my eyes .<\/p>\n
